sorry to burst the bubble guys.....But there was only about 12 albums (including RHCP and Aerosmith I think) released in Europe that carried that spyware, but the myth has now grown up that ALL Sony albums have it.

It exploited a weakness in Windows and was highlighted by the reknowned expert Mark Russinovich who found it by accident. It is a total nightmare to get rid of.

Sony have promised not to use it again, so your chances of picking it up are pretty slim.
and for those who want to rip/burn/copy a protected cd ( if they actually have one)

or copy the cd on to your hard drive then burn it from the folder you save it to, easy peasy really ,the cd is encrypted not the music!!

cheers.
